DESCRIPTION
       The strip command removes the symbol table and any strippable subsections of the section, including compact relocation information ordinar-
       ily present in executable files. This is useful to save space after a program has been debugged.

       The effect of strip is the same as use of the -s option to cc, c89, or ld.

       Note that the strip command will not strip executables with unresolved relocation entries. It also does not handle archive files.

EXIT STATUS
       Success.  An error occurred.
